The master of the national
grange says America must lick
its biggest threat depression

to match its "full employment,"
v The buying power of the aver
age citizen must be boosted, and
without government handouts,

prepared for delveriy at the na
tional grange convention.
Delegates representing more
than 826,000 dues-paying mem
bers are in attendance for the

ine grange chief assailed the
urarinan plan though not bv
name and said it could well
bankrupt the nation, reduce
farmers to beggars and make a
political lootball of farm policy.
However, the California State
grange came out strongly in
favor of the Brannan plan. The
State grange asked the national
organization for help in getting
the plan Into effect as soon as
possible. (The National grange
has long been opposed to sub
sidies.) Goss said inlustry, labor, and
agriculture should work together
to keep both production and the
demand for goods on a rising
scale.
He said the demand for Ameri
can goods currently stems from
backlogs of orders caused by the
war ana am to ioreign nations.
This demand is coming to an
end and a surplus will result be
cause in the U. S. Itself demand
has not Kept pace with oroduc
tion since 1941, said Goss.

economy begins at home, Sen.
Wayne L. Morse told a group
here today that the United Stales
government is faced with the
imminent necessity of cutting
costs.
"I'm a little - weary of those
who want economy in every guv's
district but his own," the junior
senator from Oregon went on.
"We can't have the economic cake
and eat it, too," he said.
The national economy now is
In such a state, said Sen. Morse,

problem to stabilize the econ
omy," he said.
Republican policy, he stated,
should include a positive attack
on present trends toward execu
tive control. This policy should
include adoption of the Hoover
commission reports and a firm
stand on taxation, he said.

AN ARTIST'S SKETCH of the proposed Douglas Community hospital shows the general layout of the building, which, when completed, will be one of the most up-to-date hospitals in Oregon. The 44-bed structure con
sists of a central portion 163 feet deep, with two wings, each of which will be 251 feet wide, according to the plans of Architect Cleo Jenkins, Corvallis. The entrance, facing south, will bo 40 feet wide by 35 feet
deep, and house the administrative staff in separate offices, an attractive lobby, a pharmacy and laboratory. The first wing, 40 feet in width, will contain the obstetrical department on the left, upon entrance, and
the surgical department, to include a delivery room, and eye, ear, nose and throat clinic on the right. A 48-foot center portion, also 40 feet wide, will house a solarium on the left and kitchen and dining room on the
right. The rear portion of the building will be given over to patient rooms.' The east portion will contain the service wing, which will include laundry facilities. Stairs will lead to the basement, which will be 40 by 40

Survey Reveals Need
As an indication of the crowd
ed condition of the Myrtle Creek
schools, Dellor told of a recent
survey which showed that mi
gration of families to the city
from out-of-state, and the accel
erated birth rate of so-called
"war babies," has boosted the
school population of District 19-C
by 330 percent In the last five
years.
Deller's survey was made In
connection with a housing and
building problem faced by the
schools, because of this tremen
dous growth in population which
has caused schools to he operat
ed on an emergency basis wllh
approval of the State Depart
ment of Education.
With 34 states and one terri
tory represented In its student
body of six-less-than-1,000 grade
and high school students, the
Myrtle Creek schools are claim
ing "all-American honors," Dell
er pointed out.
The state of Washington leads
the out-of-state representation in
the Myrtle Creek schools with 134
students, while California follows
with 123. Other states of birth
represented include Oklahoma,
Missouri, Idaho, Kansas, Minne
sota, Texas, Arkansas, Arizona,
Colorado and Illinois.
The extreme east is represent
ed by a student born in Massa
chusetts, while the extreme west
is represented by another pupil
from the Hawaiian islands.
More than 70 percent of Aus- Indans comprise about 11 per
